outdoor grow UK

Hi, i have been planning this for a while, in sunny Devon(haha), but i'm finding it very hard to know what seeds and techniques to use for an outdoor grow in the spring/summer of 2013.
I've had an idea... do two crops... one lot of auto-flowers, and one crop of photo-period. I thought this so that i'd be able to have some bud for summer(auto's), then i will be able to have the main crop in late summer(photo's). I have a few idea's of where to grow, nice quiet places, in the sun, and i know most of what i need to know for soil/feeding ect. The main problem is knowing what seeds, and when to plant... this is where your knowledge comes in

my first ideas: (auto's): Auto mazar (dutch passion)
Polar light (dutch passion)
Iranian auto flower
(photo's):Bay 11
or just uk outdoor mix.

any help would be amazing!
happy new year as well!

over a 100 views and nobody has anything to say?

As far as I know You can finish plants in UK, so get some photoperiods and maybe 1-3 autos just so you could have some bud earlier.
You can start plants on your windowsill or some cfl's, plant them outside when the last frosts are away and the temps seem optimal for you.
The autos should be planted a little later because of the small life span the low temps at first can hurt them a bit.

okay, at what sort of date would that be? april/may?

I'm not in UK, it's different everywhere. You can germinate the seeds around mid april probably. Leavu under cfls or on a sill, put em out in start of may? Ask some local growers when do they start growing their veggies n shit.

thank you!

well i've grown the iranain autos here in ireland for a few years now and are pretty much bullet proof

look at hybrids from hell, these are strains for your environment ...peace

what sort of yeilds have you been getting from them? and thanks, i will do that

also, where can you find iranian auto's to?

Play safe and go for a mid-late may planting. I did two last year with a friend and one died because of the temp spikes we had in April last year. You are better off doing Auto's when summer kicks in, as most outdoor growers I know all have to chop theirs early in the UK.

bumpy bump !!!!
